CJC in USB-6218

I am using an USB-6218 with VI Logger and wish to utilize an active CJC when measuring temperature with thermocouples. How do I designate a channel as the CJC?

Hello Forklifts,

When you specify the VI Logger Task you get to choose NI-DAQmx Task Name, this will open up the DAQ Assistant. If you are trying to do a Temperature reading with Thermocouple measurement, on the configuration tab, you will be allowed to select the CJC source. Select Channel as the CJC source. Then you can specify a Global Virtual Channel that you have created in Measurement and Automation Explorer by name. Type the name into the CJC Channel field.

Give this a try and let me know if you need clarification. I'd be glad to assist you.

Have a wonderful day!

Regards,
